-<h3>No line here to end</h3>
-<p/>The error
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-! LaTeX Error: There's no line here to end.
-
-See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
-</pre>
-
-</blockquote><p>
-comes in reaction to you giving LaTeX a <code>\</code><code>\</code> command at a time
-when it&#8217;s not expecting it. The commonest case is where you&#8217;ve
-decided you want the label of a list item to be on a line of its own,
-so you&#8217;ve written (for example):
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\begin{description}
-\item[Very long label] \\
- Text...
-\end{description}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-<code>\</code><code>\</code> is actually a rather bad command to use in this case (even if
-it worked), since it would force the &#8216;paragraph&#8217; that&#8217;s made up of the
-text of the item to terminate a line which has nothing on it but the
-label. This would lead to an &#8220;<code>Underfull \hbox</code>&#8221; warning message
-(usually with &#8216;infinite&#8217; badness of 10000); while this message doesn&#8217;t
-do any actual harm other than slowing down your LaTeX run, any
-message that doesn&#8217;t convey any information distracts for no useful
-purpose.
-<p/>The proper solution to the problem is to write a new sort of
-<code>description</code> environment, that does just what you&#8217;re after. (The
-
-<a href="FAQ-books.html"><em>LaTeX Companion</em></a> offers a
-rather wide selection of variants of these things.)
-<p/>The quick-and-easy solution, which avoids the warning, is to write:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\begin{description}
-\item[Very long label] \hspace*{\fill} \\
- Text...
-\end{description}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-which fills out the under-full line before forcing its closure. The
-<i>expdlist</i> package provides the same functionality with its
-<code>\</code><code>breaklabel</code> command, and <i>mdwlist</i> provides it via its
-<code>\</code><code>desclabelstyle</code> command.
-<p/>The other common occasion for the message is when you&#8217;re using the
-<code>center</code> (or <code>flushleft</code> or <code>flushright</code>)
-environment, and have decided you need extra separation between lines
-in the environment:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\begin{center}
- First (heading) line\\
- \\
- body of the centred text...
-\end{center}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-The solution here is plain: use the <code>\\</code> command in the way it&#8217;s
-supposed to be used, to provide more than just a single line break
-space. <code>\\</code> takes an optional argument, which specifies
-how much extra space to add; the required effect in the text above can
-be had by saying:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\begin{center}
- First (heading) line\\[\baselineskip]
- body of the centred text...
-\end{center}
-</pre>
